How horrible, right? How could you hate an innocent little child like Honey Boo Boo? If you don’t like her, fine, or if you think she’s trashy, whatever. I see you up there on your high horse, I get it. But hate? That’s just sad.

It’s because she has a pet chicken. See that photo up there? The chicken’s name is Nugget. And PETA thinks that is the least cool thing to name a pet chicken. They want her to rename the chicken “Not A Nugget,” which for some reason just isn’t as catchy, and they want Honey Boo Boo to teach her family and all her friends that “they should be nice to chickens by not eating them.”

They also let her know that there are some super tasty vegan-chicken nuggets in grocery stores, which have the fun and deliciousness of chicken nuggets without the slaughter. They sent her some of those nuggets, along with a shirt with a chicken on it that reads “I am not a nugget.”

I love animals. Like, I really, really love animals. But I absolutely hate PETA, and it’s because of shit like this. Of course, there are other reasons why I hate PETA, like, for instance, the fact that they euthanize over 99% of the animals in their shelters, but this business just really gets under my skin. Spaying and neutering is important, obviously, but do we really need The Situation, shirtless and surrounded by innocent kitties, to make that point? Is anyone actually going to see this poster and think anything but “ew, gross” or “hell yeah, man, p-ssy is awesome”? Because I seriously doubt it.

Basically, all this poster does is make me hate PETA more than I already do, and also it makes me wonder if The Situation switched to steroids after he got out of rehab. He looks bigger, right? Like in the shoulders and upper arms, he looks unnaturally large. Thoughts?

And now here’s the part where PETA attempts to publicly shame Reese. Here’s a warning for the more tender readers among us: the middle paragraph is the extremely dramatic and graphic part where they talk about all the python had to go through to be made into a bag:

No matter how much Reese paid for that bag, the animals paid a much higher price.

Every year, millions of snakes are impaled on hooks or nailed to trees by their heads and skinned alive. Hoses are inserted into the mouths of large snakes—like pythons—and their bodies are pumped full of water to loosen their skin so that it will cut away more easily. The animals’ peeled, writhing bodies are then discarded, and it often takes days for the animals to die from the effects of shock and dehydration. We can’t imagine that she’d wish to contribute to this hidden suffering, especially for something as frivolous as a fashion accessory that can be replicated with no bloodshed.

These days, it’s easy to have a look that kills without killing—with fake snake, mock croc, python pleather, and other designer items that pay tribute to the beauty of these animals without massacring them.

I get PETA’s point, I really do, and I completely agree. I don’t think you have to skin a snake just to get a purse (which isn’t all that cute anyway, in my opinion), but there’s a better way to get that point across. You don’t always have to make people physically ill or showcase naked ladies, PETA. There’s more to the world than that.

“This raw meat stuff is getting old and may not only hurt and kill cows, it may hurt Mischa, because so much meat is infected with salmonella, E. coli, and campylobacter that licking it is like licking a toilet. In addition to this being completely unoriginal, it’s completely callous—flesh from a tortured animal isn’t a joke, isn’t camp, and isn’t cool. Meat is full of blood, is produced with violence, and causes great suffering.”

OK, so while I agree that licking raw meat (ugh, I shudder to think of it) is completely gross and it’s probably as good as licking a toilet, the part about being callous and insensitive to cows is RIDICULOUS. I mean, I eat meat, so now does that make me uncool? Insensitive? VIOLENT and WILLING TO EMBRACE GREAT BOVINE SUFFERING?

Please, PETA. Get over yourselves, because though there are many out there who support you, there are just as many (like myself) who think you’re a bunch of over-bored nut jobs. Please excuse me while I go make a smorgasbord of sausage, steak, ham, bacon, and scrapple for breakfast. I’m feeling the need for a juicy, grass-fed ANIMAL this morning.

Marina & The Diamonds called out the new PETA ad that makes light of the whole TSA body scan debacle and she made an interesting point: Why are these ads always filled with naked chicks? Whether they’re famous or not, PETA always uses female sexuality to hawk veganism.

This is the ad in question:

Marina added in a second Tweet, “Yeah, this is real… Where are the naked guys in these ads?!”

I don’t know if men appearing in the ads would “even the score.” It would be interesting if PETA developed a new marketing strategy that didn’t involve naked humans covering their bits with live animals.

Kelis loves fur and she’s not trying to hide it, either, by saying that it’s fake or leftovers of a Britney weave haircut or something.

While plenty of other celebrities are looking to stomp for the cause, Kelis is clearly not one of them, claiming that the organization is judgmental, hypocritical and kind of pointless — at least based on the way she claims they run. Kelis states that she’s a “complete carnivore” and would have “fur walls” if she could.

“I’m briefly saddened by negative comments, but I have to remember those people are scared, incapable or just plain idiots. We are the f—ing rock stars baby. No cocaine, just life my n—as!! No cocaine, just life! It’s funny to me when fashion bloggers down our outfits and then super jock outlandish sh– on the runway but they dress mad prude and don’t live fashion.”
